San Francisco police chief discusses fatal shooting by Bayview cops

Thank goodness no innocent bystanders or police were killed.  This guy was apparently here to do bad things, and through stepped-up enforcement by SFPD, it appears that they stopped something even worse from happening.

From the SF Examiner,

A likely parolee from out of state was fatally shot by Bayview police officers Saturday afternoon after firing a gun at them while fleeing detainment for evading a Muni fare, police Chief Greg Suhr said Sunday.

The 19-year-old man -- who has not yet been publicly identified by police or the medical examiner’s office -- was detained by two officers at about 4:45 p.m. on the Muni platform at Third Street and Oakdale Avenue.
“They were initiating the contact when he ran,” Suhr said.

Suhr said the two officers chased him through a “crowded” Mendell Plaza nearby.

“He fired at the officers as he was running,” Suhr said. He said the man was believed to have gotten off more than one shot.
